/tool fetch failure: poll err

RouterOS General
1

I am trying to fetch this file but getting error. I have confirmed ftp is working fine. I am using version 6.34.2

[admin@fw] > /tool fetch address=10.10.10.1 src-path=EXPORT.FW_filter.rsc mode=ftp port=21 user=admin password=123456
  status: failed

failure: poll err

I also would like to know what “poll err” means. I see this failure reported in one other thread, against 6.34, but I am experiencing it with both sides of the connection running 6.33.1.

Hi there.
I think poll = policy error
I created a Group called “ftp-fetch”
and enable the following policies:

ftp
read
sensitive

And then ftp user within that group.

Ran into this error again today. It was not a policy error. Turned out to be a typo in the source path.

“Poll error” is a pretty obscure diagnostic for this situation. :frowning:

HI guys;

i believe for some problem, but i solved to inroduce:
upload = “yes”
in the syntax, informing to “fetch” what you should do, “send a file”

If you neglect to specify the proper transfer direction, and the source-path does not exist on the (intended) target router, then this is simply a specific degenerate instance of the “file not found” case already discussed.
